Sam Rockwell and Saoirse Ronan star in “See How They Run.”

The murder mystery spoof “See How They Run” kicks off Mystery Month in the Cinema Series at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House Performing Arts Center. The film stars Sam Rockwell and Saoirse Ronan and will be screened Saturday and Tuesday at 7:30 p.m.

In the West End of 1950s London, plans for a movie version of a smash-hit play come to an abrupt halt after a pivotal member of the crew is murdered. When world-weary Inspector Stoppard (Rockwell) and eager rookie Constable Stalker (Ronan) take on the case, the two find themselves thrown into a puzzling whodunit within the glamorously sordid theater underground, investigating the mysterious homicide at their own peril. Richard Roeper, in the Chicago Sun-Times calls the film “a smashingly good time.” Randy Myers, in the San Jose Mercury News, calls it “a crafty mystery-within-a-mystery brain twister.” Peter Travers, in ABC News, says “thanks to the inspired lunacy of Rockwell and especially Ronan, it’s a wicked fun whodunit.” Chris Hewitt, in the Minneapolis Star Tribune, says “in a perfect world, ‘See How They Run’ – like ‘Mousetrap’ – would run forever.” Rated PG-13 for some violence, bloody images and a sexual reference, “See How They Run” runs one hour, 38 minutes.

Tickets are available at the door for $7 (adults), $6.50 (seniors & Opera House members) and $5 (students) the night of each screening. A book of 10 movie passes is available for $60 at the door or online at www.fredopera.org. For more information, call the Opera House Box Office at 716-679-1891. The Opera House
